Description
Owl™ Casting Dams - 13 cm are high-quality aluminium dams that block off a portion of the gel tray so shorter gels or gradient gels can be cast and run. They seal agarose on contact, removing the need for tape, and do not attach to the gel tray, which allows gels of any length to be poured. Each dam is easy to handle and position using a knob or finger depressions and blocks off part of a UVT gel tray. Intended for use with Owl™ systems, these casting dams from manufacturer Thermo Scientific support flexible agarose gel preparation in electrophoresis work. The 13 cm length format aligns with corresponding tray dimensions for convenient casting on the bench. Supplied as a single piece, the accessory suits molecular biology and biochemistry laboratories that need variable gel lengths without improvised sealing methods. Aluminium construction provides a durable sealing surface for repeated casting cycles. The dams help streamline gel setup when only a section of the tray is required for a given run or gradient experiment.

Questions about Owl™ Casting Dams 13cm -
What is this article?
Owl™ Casting Dams 13cm - is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Thermo Scientific - Equipment LED for laboratory use. It sits in Gels, combs & casting accessories, inside Electrophoresis, in Microbiology lab supplies.
A gel, a comb and a casting tray make the slab a sample runs through. Agarose percentage, or the acrylamide mix, sets the sieve. The comb thickness and the number of teeth set the wells. Precast and hand-cast gels are different products. A comb for a different tray does not seal.
Electrophoresis pulls charged molecules through a gel. Smaller ones move farther. Agarose gels separate nucleic acids. Polyacrylamide gels separate proteins. A comb forms the wells. A power supply holds the voltage or the current. The gel percentage is the sieve. A marker lane is how the bands are named. The methods are in the PubMed literature. Sequences of the nucleic acids are on NCBI Nucleotide.
